What Creators Are Saying About Optimal Cruising
So, we wasn't too satisfied with Cday Brunch, so we decided to stop and get a rainbow bagel. Let's see. This is good. This kind of makes up for it.
Keeping Up With The Griffins
He's in a desperate attempt to save a dying channel that's on the skids. And I'm going to turn you guys around so you can see the road.
New York Dan
Just because you're on vacation does not necessarily mean that you are exempt from bad things happening to you or the people you are traveling with.
LetsTalkShip
The snack is described by on board signage as a crave warty natural bowl featuring bold flavors and fun bites made for cruising.
Eddie
If you're a retiree who values a quiet lounge before dinner, or a grandparent who wants that curtain of separation from a grandkid on the sofa bed, this suite earns its keep.

What Creators Are Saying
Selected quotes from our creator panel.
“And on a brand new ship, you can get a one-week cruise for $619 a person. That is almost unbelievable.”
“You can't find this price for a 1-week cruise on the World Europa when it gets to the Mediterranean.”
“Now, I'm looking here at the Norwegian Jade, which does a continuous 7-night cruise up and down Alaska's coast. Most of the remaining dates of this season are priced in the $300 range, about $339 per person for a 7-night, mind you, Alaska cruise.”
“This is an unheard of price on Princess in the middle of summer departing on August 8th.”
“This deal is just too good to be true.”
“The biggest rip-off on a cruise ship is not the drink package or the Wi-Fi. It's the things they give you for free because those free giveaways are designed to open your wallet before you even realize you're spending.”
“The cruise lines all-inclusive promise is a lie.”
“There's nothing worse than hearing that bass beat on late into the night when you're trying to sleep.”
“You will hear the annoying sound of scraping deck chairs late into the evening and very early in the morning.”
“Carnival is making a lot of changes and cuts that seem to be taking the fun out of cruising.”
Pro Tips From Creators
The most-shared advice for Optimal Cruising.
Check your onboard account daily to catch billing errors early.
Ask crew members for local Wi-Fi hotspots at ports of call to save money.
Aim to return to the ship at least one hour before the all-aboard time.
Go directly to the specific department (e.g., restaurant manager) rather than relying solely on Guest Services for everything.
Consider the cost of one-way international flights when booking repositioning cruises.
Watch out for 'boredom spending' during long stretches of sea days.
First-time cruisers should avoid repositioning cruises with many sea days to better test their sea legs.
Look for repositioning cruises that start and end in North America to save on airfare costs.
